Catwoman I play the acoustic guitar. A few years ago I wanted to do some songwriting. After filling a notebook I thought the next logical step would be to write music for them. I have found that while I am getting better at playing the guitar writing the music just escapes me. My dreams of replacing Jim Morrison and touring with The Doors crushed.

Little boy cries lost in the thick brushDogs are searching all in a rushFound by a man who gives him a ticket.Where's my ticket going to take me to You are going home it's my gift to you.Hey mister, by the way where 'ya from?I am from the City of Angels.

Homeless drunk sleeps on the groundLong lost hope of salvation found.Found by a man who gives him a ticket.Where's my ticket going to take me to You are going home it's my gift to you.Hey mister, by the way where 'ya from?I am from the City of Angels.

Runaway girl working the streetstired of the johns under the sheetsFound by a man who gives her a ticket.Where's my ticket going to take me to You are going home it's my gift to you.Hey mister, by the way where 'ya from?I am from the City of Angels.

Long life lived the man has grown oldSpirit leaving; body grows coldFound by a man who gives him a ticket.Where's my ticket going to take me to You are going home Father's gift to you.Hey mister, by the way where 'ya from?I am from the City of Angels.

Oh, David...this is probably the best one you've done so far...I absolutely love it. You bring to life the life situations that you describe...you have great visuals imbedded in your story. The meter of it was perfect, too. You are so talented!!

Thanks. I am glad you like the poem. It has a very special meaning to me. Usually the poems I post on here only take 15 to 30 minutes to write. I have been thinking on this poem for a long time. The actual writing took me about 4 hours today not including all the previous thought given to the concept. There are more verses to the poem but I chose not to post them yet. It means a lot to me that I perfect this poem to its' best. Thanks for the encouragement.
